A BILL to amend the code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated §29-6A-13, relating to creating a special revenue fund for the operation of the education and state employees grievance board.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended by adding thereto a new section, designated §29-6A-13, to read as follows:
ARTICLE 6A. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE FOR STATE EMPLOYEES.

§29-6A-13. Special revenue fund for the education and state employees grievance board; appropriation; exemptions; disbursements; cost of administering article.

(a) For the operation of the board, there is hereby created a special revenue fund in the state treasury, designated the "Employees Grievance Board Fund," which is an interest-bearing account and may be invested in accordance with the provisions of article six, chapter twelve of this code, with the interest income a proper credit to the fund.
(b) The fund shall consist of moneys appropriated by the Legislature and funds received from all public employers covered by the grievance procedure established under either article twenty-nine, chapter eighteen of this code or article six-a, chapter twenty-nine of this code. Beginning July 1, 2004, and annually thereafter each public employer covered by either grievance procedure is hereby authorized and directed to transmit to the board for deposit in the special revenue fund by the fifteenth day of August one twentieth of one percent of its annualized expenditures based on filled full-time equivalent positions as of the first day of April. For state agencies and higher education entities, the state budget office will determine the amount each must pay as of the first day of April for the next fiscal year. For county boards of education and other public employers covered by article twenty-nine, chapter eighteen of this code, the state superintendent of schools will determine the amount each must pay as of the first day of April for the next fiscal year. The secretary of the department of administration may exempt that transfer only upon a showing by the requesting public employer that its continued operation is dependent upon receipt of the exemption. Disbursements from the fund shall be made in accordance with an approved expenditure schedule as provided by article two, chapter five-a of this code and shall be made under the direct supervision of the board. The board shall maintain accurate records reflecting the cost of administering the provisions of this article.
(c)áAnnually the secretary shall provide a report to the governor and the Legislature on the amount of the special revenue fund established pursuant to the provisions of this section, the number of exemptions granted and the public employers receiving those exemptions.


NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to create a special revenue account for the operation of the education and state employees grievance board, funded by employers whose employees are covered by the board.

This section is new; therefore, strike-throughs and underscoring have been omitted.
